(1) knowledge, (2) skills, (3) style, (4) method, and (5) mission-critical

1. Knowledge: Knowledge in areas of business, economics, markets, human behavior, decision processes, and community life were viewed as fundamental to those who would lead a sustainability initiative or organization

2. Skills: Communication, dealing with ambiguity, building, and maintaining relationships, dealing with complexity, project management, and conflict resolution are examples of skills deemed important to be learned and developed

3. Style: Style refers to leadership style, which describes the behavior of a leader. Northouse (2010) says the style focuses exclusively on what leaders do and how they act

4. Method: Method has to do with “how” an individual should lead

5. Mission-critical: Dutra et al. (2011) describe mission-critical competencies as having the ability to see multiple futures
